Fired

I walked into my job at the Mongolian Grill today ready to flip some meat and my boss walks up to me and asks " where were you this morning"? To which I replied "shit was I supposed to work at 10? I thought
I worked at 4". He told me I was fired and I went home. I was thinking about it though and my work never called me this morning to see where I was or anything which is very strange to me because every job I've ever had if I don't show up they call me and ask me whats up. So I went back down to my work to talk to them about it and the guy just told me "tough luck I should have been there" so I asked "Didn't you need me on grill this morning? why wouldn't you call me if I don't show up" to which he responded "whatever".

I was wondering if anything like this has ever happened to any of you guys ie. having your work not call you when you don't show up? And I'm not bitching about being fired I know it's my responsibility to know the schedule but  they fired me because I didn't show up, but I would have been right there if they just would have called me.

You were flipping burgers for some d-bag, he probably did you a favor. Expand your horizons and get into a job that pays bank...Waiter  etc.

It sounds like your boss was just looking for an excuse to fire you.

I would agree that they were looking for a reason to fire me, but the thing is I'd only been there for a wee was still training which means I barely even knew him and had only worked three shifts. I wasn't bad at it or anything.

And I already have a second job as a delivery guy this job was just to make more money.

Nahh that's east cost I live in Colorado, and I'm reluctant to post a number because I don't want to get in trouble for harassment when 100 people from NS start calling up saying god knows what.
